Skinny Suit

Yesterday, before work, I woke up early to shoot a local tv commercial where I needed to look like a "professional". My typical day-to-day work apparel isn't quite a suit and heels so I did my best to look like someone who has to dress up for work on a daily basis. I got in touch with my inner-DC self and decided that a black skinny suit was the way to go. While this isn't an actual suit, the black blazer and my favorite skinny pants did the trick for the job. And because I hate wearing all black, especially in the summer, I decided to make the outfit pop with one of my favorite pink J.Crew sweaters. Once the commercial is ready to go, I will be sure to put a link up to it. Until then, I guess we'll have to wait!

Antelope Pants

I have been on a mission to find light-colored work pants for over a year now. When Banana Republic sent out an email (which I always seem to open!) announcing their new Hampton Pants I had to see what they were all about. I ordered immediately them in "antelope" and anxiously awaited their arrival. When the pants came in the mail, I fell in love. I actually found a pair of pants to wear with darker tops that I love. They are comfortable, easy to style and can easily transition through the seasons. 

Election Day 2012

Happy Election Day!

I hope everyone has had a chance to vote, if not, GO VOTE! I sent in my ballot a few weeks ago and could not be more excited. I love voting, I just hate political ads. I am so glad they will be off the tv starting tomorrow.

No matter who you vote for, make sure you make your voice heard today!

Stormy Weather

Sweater: The Limited Similar Style  Pants: Gap  Shoes: Via Spiga  Bracelets: Stella and Dot

Rain, tornado warnings and high winds are a few things I hate seeing on my weather app when waking up in the morning. Yesterday was one of those days. The weather was dreary all day. Muggy, rainy days are no fun… but giveaways are! I decided that the best way to combat this terrible weather is to host a new giveaway. I have included a pop-up poll in this post to see what kind of giveaway everyone would be most interested in. Be sure to vote!

Color blocking: Round 2

Sweater: Gap  Pants: Gap  Shoes: Guess  Necklace: Stella and Dot  Sunglasses: Ray-Ban  Bracelet: Vintage

As I have said before, I am a huge fan of this color blocking trend. I think it is because it adds so much to a simple look, especially with the neon in this sweater. I love how it stands out against the rest of my grey outfit. Plus, it may be one of the more comfortable outfits I have worn in weeks.

What do you think of this trend? Love it? Hate it?
